startup-grade brand feel; short; genuine English word
Moderate scoring — fine as a portfolio filler if the aftermarket covers cost, not a chase on its own.
Synthesized from the DQS, aftermarket estimate, registration cost, lifecycle stage, and trademark check on this page. Not financial advice — your portfolio strategy overrides.
Rough aftermarket estimate
$27 — $70
DQS 52 · .ink · 5ch · brandable
Directional only — a gut-check range, not an appraisal. Uses DQS + TLD + length; doesn’t know about comps, trademarks, or brand context. Treat as “worth looking at” vs “skip,” not a bid price.

texts.ink is a keyword-forward name — "texts" carries intrinsic meaning before any branding layer is added. At 5 characters the name sits in the short bucket — not ultra-premium, but comfortably in the zone where brandable startups shop. The phonetics are consonant-dense and choppy phonetically. In .ink the valuation compresses toward the commercial value of the SLD itself rather than the TLD premium. The Wayback Machine has no archived snapshots of the domain, suggesting it was parked or lightly used in any prior registrations. DQS 52/100 is the mid-band: the domain has real signals behind it but isn't an obvious standout. Mid-band names reward buyers who understand a specific niche. Because the name is still in redemption (day 5 of 30), its future is largely controlled by whether the prior registrant pays the restore fee. Bottom line: evaluate this one against a specific use case you have in mind. Mid-band names don't sell themselves — they sell when the buyer is already looking.

Social handle availability
A 404 on the profile page means the handle is free to claim. Grabbing matching handles at registration time is cheap insurance against impersonation + easier brand rollout later.

Retail registration will lose the race for premium names. Drop-catchers are the only reliable path during this window.
